Sample interview questionsHow would you structure a technical discovery session for a customer evaluating Databricks?I would begin by clarifying business outcomes, target users, current data architecture, workloads, pain points, security requirements, and success metrics. I would then map those needs to a prioritized technical use case and agree on a measurable proof-of-concept plan.

Describe how you would design a scalable data pipeline using Spark and Delta Lake.

I would use layered ingestion and transformation patterns, typically bronze, silver, and gold tables, with incremental processing and schema management. I would optimize Spark execution through partitioning, file sizing, caching where appropriate, and monitoring of job performance and data quality.

How do you handle a live technical demo when a customer asks an unexpected deep technical question?

I would address the question transparently, explain the relevant architecture or trade-off, and validate it directly in the platform when possible. If the answer requires follow-up, I would clearly capture the question, provide an interim recommendation, and return with a tested answer promptly.

What approach would you take to troubleshoot a slow Spark workload?

I would inspect the execution plan, stage metrics, data skew, shuffle volume, partition counts, joins, and file layout. Based on the findings, I could adjust join strategies, repartition data, reduce shuffles, optimize Delta tables, and tune cluster configuration while validating each change with performance measurements.

How would you partner with an Account Executive to expand usage within an existing strategic account?

I would jointly create an account technical strategy that identifies existing workloads, adoption barriers, stakeholder groups, and adjacent high-value use cases. I would use workshops, architecture reviews, and targeted demonstrations to build technical champions and connect platform capabilities to measurable customer outcomes.
